Description
Smart and stylish light blue linen-blend shorts by Common-Sense in a boy's size 10. These flat-front shorts feature a classic melange weave, a zip fly with button closure, and a charming navy and white striped inner lining. Perfect for summer weddings, beach vacations, or dressy-casual events.
Key Features
Breathable linen-blend fabric; neutral and popular light blue colorway; internal adjustable waist elastic (common for this brand); easy-to-style formal/casual look.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic brand tag and size 10 indicator; high confidence level as this is a mass-market brand and unlikely to be replicated.
Flaws to Note
Significant wrinkling (must be steamed/ironed for photos); potential for minor pilling in the inner thigh area which is common for this blend.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Mercari, or local Facebook B/S/T groups. These platforms are excellent for mid-tier kids' clothing brands where shoppers bundle items to save on shipping.
Selling Tips
Photograph after steaming to showcase the fabric quality. Use keywords like 'Ring Bearer', 'Easter', 'Coastal', and 'Summer Wedding'. Consider bundling with other boys' size 10 items to increase value, as shipping often costs more than the item price when sold alone.
